at nineteen weeks...

at nineteen weeks you are a different person...literally changing every day. i love thinking about what is going on in your mind...and what all those babbles mean. at nineteen weeks you got together with your friends...and so the moms put you in another baby pinwheel and took all kinds of pictures. your tongue was hanging out, which seems to be a theme this week. see...

at nineteen weeks we had to have your allergy test, which was pretty sad. poor dad, he took you in and you didn't like it. they poked and prodded and drew all over you...

the results came back that you have some allergies: peanuts and dogs! so we are still at our baths (in the bucket)...

and we got mr. hobbes a haircut and let him know he can't get too close...

at nineteen weeks you got to model some new baby gear from my office. you weren't that into it!

you enjoyed modeling your "i'm late for business" onesie from jedd much better...

at nineteen weeks you still get a little time alone in the middle of our bed while we get ready for work. you are so rosy and cuddly when we wake you up.

and speaking of sleeping...we took this photo of you while you were napping on dad. we both looked down and thought "holy crap...she's so big!" and you are...you are growing and healthy and changing!

and now a few pictures from daycare...

you love your time with august...and he loves gnawing on you...

you wore sunglasses for the first time (i can't look at this without smiling back at you)...

you went out for some adventures all bundled up...

just hanging out...

and here you are wearing amelia's snowsuit because we got a bunch of snow this week...

at nineteen weeks it's amazing to be your parent. on saturday evening dad and i sat on the couch, while you were asleep upstairs, and looked at all the pictures on his phone from the day you were born until now. i couldn't believe it. we laughed, reminisced, sometimes wondered was that really you, and felt so lucky. i couldn't look without my eyes welling up...for miss maeve you are just love. you literally take my breath away in random moments...leaving a lump in my throat and my eyes blurry.

at nineteen weeks you brought us so much love, that we did the only fair thing...were smothered it back on you in the form of kisses and cuddles.
